Series Review: The Lynburn Legacy by Sarah Rees Brennan

The Lynburn Legacy

By Sarah Ress Brennan

Review:

Kami Glass
lives in a small English town called Sorry-in-the-Vale. All her life she has
had a voice in her head, a boy who speaks to her. When she was a child she did
not make a secret about her imaginary friend, so she has always been an
outsider. She runs the school newspaper with her best friend, she has her
imaginary friend who is always there for her - she lives her normal and calm
life and she loves it. That is, until the Lynburns return. As soon as the twins
and her sons, Ash and Jared, get to Sorry-in-the-Vale, everybody starts fussing
over them. Everybody talks about them with wonder, fear and secrecy. Kami knows
there is a story behind that family, but every time she asks questions about
them, people refuse to answer. As an aspiring reporter, Kami is determined to
uncover her town's secret. But she can't do it without the help of her friends,
and especially without the help of her imaginary friend, who, now, has a face,
a body and a voice that not only speaks in her head anymore.

I really
enjoyed these books! I love books where the main character is connected to a
boy/girl in some way. Especially because they can read each other's mind. For
some unknown reason I find it fascinating. But that was only one of the reasons
I enjoyed this series so much.

Something I
noticed in some books I've read is that the writer tries to make characters
that are different from most people, but sometimes they end up being so
different that they are unrealistic or even ridiculous. However, Sarah Rees
Brennan, created so unique and fascinating characters that are so realistic and
likeable ate the same time. I love all the characters in her series, except for
Ash; he was such a spoiled brat. I know this is bad, but there were times I
wish he would die! Although I didn't like him, I understand that he was crucial
to the all story and it was important for him to live.

The only
reason I only gave 3,5 stars to the second book, was because it was a little
slow paced, nothing much happens until the end of the book. They are basically
looking for answers and making plans. But I really don't think you should stop
reading this series because of the second book. It gets so much better in the
end, and the wait is worth it! I gave 4 stars to the other two, just because I
like to save my 5 stars to my favourite books of all time. Those who are
absolutely mind blowing! But, I really did enjoy this series.

This
Lynburn Legacy is full of mystery, adventures, love, friendship and family. I
highly recommend this series. I had such a fun time reading these books. It
really is a quick read, and a perfect series to marathon! You should definitely
pick this out!
